Student suffers amputation after embarrassing school assault

CROSBY, Minn. -- Pain is the operative word in the unfortunate story of 14-year-old David Gibbons. It is a pain he has endured both physically and emotionally after being punched in the groin by another student as he changed classes at Crosby Ironton High School.

"One o'clock in the morning he woke me up and told me he was in excruciating pain," recalls Christy Gibbons, David's mom. Not long after, David was in surgery at St. Joseph's Hospital in Brainerd having his right testicle removed.

"This may be called a game, but it's not a game. It's dangerous and it needs to stop," said Christy.

It's a notion seconded by Dr. Scott Wheeler, a Brainerd urologist.

"It's just gotten way out of control," said Wheeler, who now performs "three to four surgeries a year" on boys with ruptured testicles and other complications of being groin punched - with dozens more coming in with less severe injuries. "It's high school, junior high, elementary school," said Wheeler.

Dubbed "sack tapping" by some students, the practice is now featured in dozens of homemade videos on YouTube.

"We're gonna see who our first victim is," says a student in one video before punching an unsuspecting male student in the groin as he walked down a school hallway.

It is painful to watch and Dr. Wheeler says increasingly common. "All parents, you need to have this talk with your kids not to do it. It's lost its humor. It's not a game anymore. People get hurt."

"I don't know how to stop it," said David, who says he's been the recipient of similar attacks in the past. His parents pulled him out of school and are now planning a move to a different school district.

Jamie Skjeveland, superintendent of Crosby Ironton schools, says the investigation of the incident involving David is complete, but he declined to comment on any disciplinary action for privacy reasons.

On Wednesday morning the Gibbons are scheduled to meet with Crow Wing County Attorney Don Ryan to learn if criminal charges will be filed against the other student.

"This kid doing that, he should definitely be held responsible for that," said Denny Gibbons, David's dad.

Doctors have told David that even though he lost a testicle in the attack, he should still be able to have children someday.

David's mom mostly wants other parents to be aware. "I seen the pain he was in. I seen what he went through every day, and it just breaks my heart and I don't want any other child to have to go through this."

Man Suffers 27-Day Erection After Cocaine Binge

A Dominican man was left with a 27-day erection after a cocaine binge, the Daily Mirror Newspaper reported Thursday.

Luis Rodriguez was told by surgeons in Santiago, Dominican Republic that his condition was caused by his cocaine use, and warned that if he continued to abuse the drug, his pen15 would likely rot off.

"It could lead to necrosis, and that would necessitate severe surgery," urologist, Dr. Milton Alvarez Rosa said.

4 Iowa teens on church trip accused of beating raccoon to death

DES MOINES, Iowa — The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has filed charges against four teenagers from a church in Pella who have confessed to beating a raccoon to death.

DNR spokesman Kevin Baskins said the incident happened Saturday night at Ledges State Park.

Baskins says the teens were on a church youth group camping trip with the Third Reformed Church in Pella.

Investigators said the teens made a crude snare to trap the raccoon and managed to catch it.

The teens told authorities that they didn't know how to free the animal, so they beat it to death. Another camper called authorities.

All four were charged with the illegal trapping and killing of wildlife. They are identified as 18-year-old Frank Ahrens of Montezuma, 16-year-old Brenna Leighton of Pella, 16-year-old Tyler Holtrap of Otley and 15-year-old Jacob Gleason of Leighton.

Was it Richard Lewis, in contemplating the language in Cialis commercials about seeking medical attention for an erection lasting more than four hours, who said: "If I have an erection lasting more than four hours, I'm calling everybody I know."

Marlins selling Halladay tickets at 'face'

MIAMI -- Here's a chance to buy tickets to a guaranteed perfect game -- the one Roy Halladay already threw.

The Florida Marlins will begin selling on Tuesday unused tickets to the game in which the Philadelphia Phillies ace pitched the 20th perfect game in major league history, a 1-0 victory over the Marlins on Saturday.

All tickets will be regularly priced at "face value" and on sale both online and through the Marlins' box office.

Paid attendance that night was about 25,000, a relatively large crowd for a Marlins' home game. By comparison, Florida drew a paid crowd of 10,115 -- its smallest of the season -- for Monday's game against Milwaukee.

I read where the "humanitarian" aid intercepted by Israel the other day included gas masks, bulletproof vests and night vision goggles. You know, if you grill those night vision goggles over indirect heat, then swab on the sauce in the final 30 minutes of cooking, they'll be "fall off the bone" delicious. I see also the usual suspects are proclaiming the jihadist p****s killed in the encounter as "civilians." Using that definition, so were the perpetrators of 9/11. There are more people in metro Chicago than in Israel and around 300 million Arabs, whose governments for decades have tried to wipe Israel off the map. Once in a while the Israelis bite back and the world goes into its Claude Rains act: "I'm shocked, shocked. . ."
